    You do realize that system was started by Obama?

    you've created such a narrow and not only unknowable but subjective criteria your comparison is pointless. I can see the idiots with Princess backpacks beating on the courts doors on camera. Screaming like a mentally ill hospital patient on the streets not what I think of as stable. voting in a presidential election is perfectly normal and as you noted, far more effective.

    Hilary had about 3 million more votes. That is a lot of votes. If you look at the electoral map Texas is a sea of red except for Harris, Bexar, Travis, and Dallas counties which happen to be the 4 largest cities in Texas. They also happen to be where a large chunk of the Texas economy happens.

    A large reason why some of these small towns like La Grange and Victoria even exist is because the government is subsidizing healthcare through medicare, medicaid, etc.

    When large chunks of our gov't is knowingly or unknowingly in cahoots with a dictator whose aim is to weaken the country - at what point do you stop blaming democrats?

    The entire premise behind what is deranged and what isn't is subjective in itself.

    So I'll repeat. Voting in a unhinged idiotic sociopath to manage the world's largest bureaucracy and command the world's most powerful military to trigger your ideological opposition is deranged.

    The act of voting in itself isn't deranged and the act of protesting in itself isn't deragned. The context behind it such as motivations for said actions determines whether it is deranged or not.

    I see the lefts hysteria thinking Trump plans to use the system for nefarious reasons. I think it is important to note that Trump didn't create it and if you think he will abuse it then you are clueless.

    It means if Obama creates something for an emergency Trump can use it to help get votes

    I was making a joke because trump loves his social media. You don’t have to be super cereal all the time. You sound just as pathetic as OP.

    What is this strange narrative you’ve created for yourself? Are you trying to be like the Democrat version of Trader Jorge?

    I can't believe anyone would be against protest and rebellion and call themselves American.

    The entire country was founded by a protest and a rebellion of the most violent nature I should add.

    After seeing how the president abuses his power with the FBI, his tax evasion schemes, his criminal behavior in his campaign, and overall how his blatant disregard for acting presidential is - you're either a total idiot or a total partisan robot if you think he won't use this system for a political advantage if the opportunity arises.

    Rebellion is what we're all going to need to do to keep the idea of America alive.

    Narrative? You have members of the house openly praising Putin and you have a president who goes before the world and says Putin is more trustworthy than our own CIA & FBI.

    Sounds like you need to crawl out from under that rock buddy

    lol - seems you are not only ignorant about basics of governance but also lack basic english comprehension.

    I dont care who you vote for, cos that is your prerogative, but do not equate voting to democracy. There is fundamental difference between a process and a state, which you dont seem to grasp.

    And the thing you don't seem to grasp is I am aware you are a PRC propaganda bot with multiple usernames and no opinions worthy.

    bandwagoner is a known gun nut troll on here. He's a NRA card-carrying tool who thinks he's a nuclear scientist and an expert on uranium enrichment.

    That is very rich coming from you.

    I guess you dont have an answer and are making a poor attempt to dodge the question, which is par for the course with people like you.

    In the future, please refrain from exhibiting your ignorance on a public forum - its quite unbecoming.
